My Wonderful Package!

It has been a rough couple of weeks and I was glad to get Jenny's package (Jen S.)  in the mail. I only wish I could have had the pics posted sooner. It cheered me up after a few days of bad starts, one of which I knocked something into my eye while cleaning and had an emergency visit to the eye doc. (I put safety glasses on my favorite things list now)

 Fabric and apron pattern, cards, a recipe journal, a fun book, a cute sweatshirt to sew and more. I think she loves color, cooking, humor and has a sweet and generous heart. We share some of the same interests. Thanks so much! I feel extra special.

Wrapped so cute too. Here I'm only about half done unwrapping.

A Last Minute Peak

Just a glimpse of some of my favorite things for my swap partner. There are a few things that didn't fit in the picture, some that are more fall looking since this looks a little more spring. Will be going out today and later I'll put in some pics of the neat package that I got from Jenny.

My Parcel from TEXAS!!

Look what was in the post on Friday from Sharon in Texas!

Of course she sent an apron!! With large pockets...for my gardening tools!  And pecan coffee...yummmeee!  A cute journal, cupcake wrappers in both of our favorite PINK!... a great book..(which did not get photographed as it was already on the night table...in progress)...a little sewing kit...purse size..  really cute cups for dessert....a cute basket that she made....and a little antique doll!!  Of course she included a nice newsy letter, telling me about her life in Texas, and why threse are her favorites! 

Here is a closer look at the doll...she is made of clay...and is holding her knitting!  Isn't she so sweet!!
She is sitting on top on my sewing cabinet now...watching me while I'm busy making...stuff!

I told Sharon that she should be my new BFF...so many of HER favorites are also MY favorites!!
It was just a super parcel Sharon...again...thank you so much!!  And three cheers for Shawnee...our favorite SWAP MUM!!

Amazing Swap Package from Wyoming!

I got the most amazing swap package yesterday from Mary Lea! Soooo many fun things! And everything was wrapped so pretty, with owl ribbon (yeah!). She had them all numbered with these cute little numbers and a little note on the back of each one. She sent me some projects to work on: pretty dishtowels to embroider, and a pattern for a sewing machine cover. A pretty gold owl, some awesome ribbon AND bakery twine (yes!), some yummy Bath and Body Works hand soap and a bar of handmade soap (smells sooo good!). Cookie cutters (so cute!) and a package of salsa fixin's! A fabulously handy individual salad dressing bottle and owl stickers. And did I mention how cute the number tags were? Wow, I'm a lucky girl! Thank you sooo much, Mary Lea!

Another package sent yesterday!

Just a couple quick shots of the apron and another goody I included in my package.  She should be receiving on Tuesday.....because of Labor Day!!    The flower is a pin she can also wear - if she wants!  Thanks Shawnee for all you do.
